Whrrl Users Can Now Get Bizzy

Groupon may have acquired the location-based game Whrrl, and it may be shutting it down, but that doesn't mean Whrrl users have to lose their stored data.

Groupon may have acquired the location-based game Whrrl, and it may be shutting it down, but that doesn't mean Whrrl users have to lose their stored data. Groupon is letting users download that data, so personalized local business recommendation site Bizzy is giving them something to do with it. Whrrl users can upload their data so that they'll still get recommendations based on their tastes and preferences, but this time they'll get it from Bizzy.

To download their data, Whrrl users need to visit http://download.whrrl.com. They can then upload it to Bizzy. To continue refining their local business recommendations, users can "Check Out" of the businesses they frequent, share how they like them, and share tips and photos through Bizzy's mobile apps for iPhone and Android.
